Fellow Bloggers,Firstly sorry, that I'm adding a thread amidst some wonderful contest threads that are going on in the forumn. But, I have no other otion, but to post this here as I find my self a victim of plagiarism for the second time in a year. A few months back, I found a page which plagiarised my content claiming it to te their content. With help from IndiBlogger community I was able to get the page offline. This time again, just when I was wondering why was it that my blogger stats were majorly hit, I came across a plagiarism checker that showed me this page - http://carz4.blogspot.in/ which is copying every single post from my blog - http://sulaimansait.blogspot.in/.

Sadly, No social media trace of this indivudual is found, no way can I even manage to ask the blog author to pull down these posts. Fellow bloggers, I would be glad if any of you could help me get his blog pulled down else my 5 years of blogging could lose all its value - Sulaiman Sait

Whoa, that's an exact copy of your blogposts. This guy has planned something serious. BTW, the guy is using a good template, I must say.

Since this blog is on Blogger, there is exactly no problem getting the content removed by visiting https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/dmca-dashboard and requesting Google to force remove the blog/URL, and the rest shoud be taken care of by Google/Blogger.
